Bringing together more than 3,500 attendees and 265 exhibiting organizations, USGIF hosted its GEOINT 2016 Symposium for the global GEOINT Community to discuss opportunities and solve challenges.

GEOINT 2016, held May 15-18, at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., was the 12th annual Symposium and this year’s theme was “The GEOINT Revolution.” The Symposium focused on how adjacent markets and emerging technologies are influencing the GEOINT Community while at the same time geospatial intelligence is playing an increasing role in everything from the Internet of Things and augmented reality to mobile technology and data analytics.

“There was palpable energy at this year’s Symposium,” said USGIFCEO Keith J. Masback. “The discussions and level of engagement were on par with or exceeded any event in the Foundation’s history. There was genuine excitement surrounding the tremendous opportunity afforded to our Community by the advent of the GEOINT Revolution.”

This year’s Symposium was fantastic! Thanks to all our attendees, speakers, exhibitors, and sponsors—we couldn’t have made GEOINT 2016 a success without you. A special shout out to the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center for hosting us. We look forward to seeing everyone at GEOINT 2017, June 4-7, in San Antonio, Texas!
